Another Reason to Get Out Bed

Songs In My Head – Week 16

This week marked another pain anniversary. Another reminder that it’s been 11 years. 11 years of searching, of hoping, of wondering, of living.

I randomly found “Even If” by one of my favourite bands MercyMe on my YouTube home page one day. And their words: “I know the sorrow/ I know the hurt/ Would all go away /If you just said the word / But even if you don’t / My hope is you alone” echoes all I have within me. I have known healing. I have known pain. I have known suffering and the endless wondering. I have known the great and the horrible. Through it all I have but one hope that has not failed me. So I will continue to cling to Him as we begin the twelfth year of pain and “It is well with my soul.”
